Video: Michelle Williams Opens Up About Broadway Return on GOOD MORNING AMERICA

Michelle Williams is currently on Broadway in Death Becomes Her, the hit musical adaptation of the cult classic film. However, before receiving the offer to return to the stage, the Grammy Award-winning artist thought her Broadway days were over.

"Back in 2018, I had to leave a Broadway show because of my mental health," Williams told Good Morning America during a visit, referring to her departure from Once On This Island. "I thought the door was closed for me to return on Broadway. I thought I blew it [and] would be seen as a liability..." Nevertheless, she received the offer to play Viola, a character played by Isabella Rossellini in the original film.

Rossellini herself visited a performance of the show, with Williams noting "her kindness [and] grace" and that it was a special experience "for her to say she's so proud and how excited she was to see the show." See photos of Williams and Rossellini here and watch Williams discuss more about Death Becomes Her, her mental health journey, and more in the full interview.
